Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) reached end-of-life on April 30, 2011.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases Please upgrade to the latest version and re-test. ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/487712 Title: pulseaudio dies several times per day Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: pulseaudio I frequently find that sound suddenly stops when I am using Amarok and I get a message saying that the connection has been broken. Once this has happened, if I then try to make a Skype call, or play a test sound in Skype, Skype will freeze. I say that PulseAudio dies because I assume that it dies and respawns, but I do not know this for certain. I am using Amarok 1.4 from a PPA, as opposed to the version that shipped with Kubuntu Jaunty, but I am using the standard Karmic PulseAudio. One thing I have also noticed is that quite often I try to play a Flash video on the Web and I find that the web player is silent. Only running killall npviewer.bin and starting again brings the sound back. Obviously I suspect this might be connected, but I don't know this for certain. I have not observed any such misbehaviour AFAIR in connection with any other app, ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 ArecordDevices: **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: CONEXANT Analog [CONEXANT Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: robert 13725 F.... pulseaudio robert 22350 F.... kmix Card0.Amixer.info: Card hw:0 'Intel'/'HDA Intel at 0xfe100000 irq 17' Mixer name : 'Conexant CX20549 (Venice)' Components : 'HDA:14f15045,17aa20db,00100100' Controls : 18 Simple ctrls : 8 Date: Tue Nov 24 18:07:37 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release amd64 (20091027) Package: pulseaudio 1:0.9.19-0ubuntu4 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE= PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: pulseaudio Uname: Linux 2.6.31.6-rt19 x86_64 UserAsoundrc: # ALSA library configuration file # Include settings that are under the control of asoundconf(1). # (To disable these settings, comment out this line.) </home/robert/.asoundrc.asoundconf> To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/487712/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
